Yes, as I said, might scare someone but will not incapacitate them. Depending on the situation scarring/angering the opponent might be a good or a terrible idea.
Yes, scaring can make people just more angry and lead to a more severe attack… but I am pretty sure that a scared angry attacker who’s clothing is on fire will reassess his priorities rather quickly.
It’s just a gas lighter. It’s unlikely it will set someone on fire. They would have to be wearing something extremely flammable. To actually set someone on fire you need some agent that will stick to them like gasoline. This will most probably just burn someone’s hair and it’s a good thing. Using actual flamethrower as a self defense weapon would be insane. The chances of hurting yourself or setting whole building on fire would be really big. You could just a well carry a bottle of acid with you.

Hmmm… you are right… but if you mount a propane lighter on, lets say, a water pistol filled with ethanol… hmmm…
I heard that if you mix orange juice with gasoline you get napalm.
